paraiba tourmaline

Tourmaline is a precious gemstone with a variety of colors, and among them, Paraiba tourmaline, which is described as a bright "electric blue" and "neon color", is a gemstone with high saturation and beautiful brilliance.

The name "Paraiba" comes from the state of Paraiba in Brazil, where it was first produced.

First exhibited in Tucson in February 1989, the Paraiba tourmaline quickly gained popularity, rising to 25 times its initial price per carat on its final day. This event was a memorable one in the long history of the Tucson Show.

The neon blue color that attracts people is due to the presence of copper. Some are due to manganese, but the higher the copper content, the more beautiful neon colors it emits.

Paraiba tourmaline is a gemstone that is prone to inclusions, and large crystals are rarely produced. Therefore, sizes over 1 carat are extremely rare.

There is a sense of transparency, and large gemstones rarely exist, and it is a moment of excitement when you encounter an electric blue gemstone.

In addition, recently production is limited, and the price of Paraiba tourmaline continues to soar. This gemstone is a mysterious crystal produced by the earth and can be said to be a precious natural resource. A beautiful large Paraiba tourmaline can be said to be a gift of the earth.
